Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1336 ~
8 March 1998
In the spiritual Renaissance of humanity the views, precepts and practices of religions regarding nature, our home the Earth, its place and meaning in Creation and cosmic evolution must play a fundamental role for the safeguard of our planet and of humanity. The contributions of the indigenous religions in particular will be most valuable. The United Religions Organization must place this subject high on its agenda, when it is created, second only to the prohibition to all religions to resort to wars and violence.

God must be ready to forgive billions of times a day the sinning individuals of this planet. Otherwise God would end up being pretty lonely in paradise.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1335 ~
7 March 1998
We must absolutely lay down for the next century and all times the fundamental law that a human being is anterior and superior to the recently invented national being. They can therefore not be asked to kill another human being in the name of a nation nor of any other group. All conflicts on this planet must be resolved by peaceful means not through murders. That age must pass like slavery and apartheid.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
We commit sins often and are quick to forget them. But we have the memory of an elephant for the sins of others and are very slow to forgive them. This is not just. We must turn that around and begin to teach the right forgiveness to our children, the newcomers to the human family.

~ Idea 1334 ~
6 March 1998
From a Costa Rican newspaper I learn that two young men in England have launched a National Movement for the Renaissance of Optimism. They consider that there is no problem in the country that cannot be resolved with optimism. The same is true of world problems. Perhaps we need a World Movement for the Renewal of Optimism. Having been given the epithet of Chief Optimist in Residence at the UN I would be delighted to be a Board Member.

[GMW #2424] A Woman as UN Secretary General for the Interests of Humanity and Earth

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1333 ~
5 March 1998
Similarly, the question of the selection and election of the UN Secretary General should be reviewed in the new historical circumstances prevailing on the eve of a new century and millennium. The first Secretaries General were from neutral countries: Norway, Sweden, Burma and Austria. China, in view of its change of policy, ensured the election of a Latin American for two terms and thereafter of two Africans for one term each.

The following new approaches are relevant:

1. true global citizens should be considered for the position i.e. individuals who have the experience and passion for the interests of Humanity and of the Earth above the interests of nations;

2. after seven male Secretaries General a woman should be elected;

3. each candidate should make a declaration of their ideals and intentions during their mandate;

4. all members of the Security Council and of the General Assembly should be informed of the names and biographies of all candidates, to have at least an idea who is considered by the five Permanent Members of the Security Council.

In order to open up these questions I have written First Lady of the World in which a woman becomes Secretary General of the UN. I presented my own global candidacy and issued a declaration of intentions if elected (see pages 8 and 9 of the first 5000 ideas). At least the election of a woman Secretary General is now wide open. The next Secretary General will almost certainly be a woman.

A simple but basic cosmic law: you forgive, thus improving the functioning of the planetary cosmos and the heavens. The recompense of the cosmos will be to forgive you too. Your forgivings will remain ingrained in the cosmos for all time.

~ Idea 1321 ~
21 February 1998
Why doesn't the International Association of University Presidents take up the subject of designing and creating truly universal, global Universities and not so many national Universities? And also create true Earth universities in which humanity would be part of the Earth processes and futures and no longer an evolutionary, dominant, currently adverse factor.

~ Idea 1319 ~
19 February 1998
Many persons write to me urging the United Nations or UNESCO to study thoroughly the subject of global education. They are right: there are so many global issues, institutions, hopes and perils on this planet, that UNESCO should establish a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on Global Education. A World University of Global Education should also be created. I am ready to design its program and structure and to be a member of its Board to continue meriting my title of Father of Global Education given to me in the 1960ies.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
If one really loves someone or something, one must at least be ready to forgive, if not love their shortcomings. I have applied this rule to my love for humanity and for the UN. Why should I insist on a perfect planet, a perfect humanity, a perfect UN, a perfect wife and perfect children, when I myself am not perfect?

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1317 ~
17 February 1998
There is now a very strong current in the world that to human rights should be added human responsibilities and duties. This will come up strongly at the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights this year. For the first time also in human history we will have an Earth Charter which defines the "rights" of the Earth, i.e. our duties towards her.

All this leads me to conclude that henceforth the best economics in the world is to take into full account the value, preservation and proper management and renewal of our Earth. Perhaps in order to bring this closer to the people we should change the names ecology and economics (Greek oikos, logos and nomos, knowledge, and management of the home) to Earthology (science or knowledge of the Earth) and Earth management. In the political language we should replace world government by Earth government and the United Nations Organization by Earth and Humanity Organization. The Charter of the UN does not mention once the words Earth, nature and ecology. This shows the dramatic changes which have taken place since World War II. An entirely new philosophy (love of wisdom) and ideology (science of ideas) are being born on this planet.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
Dear God, please forgive me for not having loved life and your Creation as I should have. What a misguided fool I was! How I will regret it in my tomb!

God:
"Do not worry, dear son, you will have all the time to do a lot of good from heaven. I will use you to the brim."
